MASTERPOST.

What is #What If ToA RotT?

A project of 20 dedicated people who invested 2.5 years to rewrite the beginning of the 2021 movie Tales of Arcadia: Rise of the Titans. It became a beautiful 30 min fan animatic.

It was based on @tenebrius-excellium's fix-it fic. (outlined)

What is it about?

Blinky narrates A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore No. 48 as an alternative prologue to the movie. Visually, we preferred to use a sepia-colored book-like aesthetic. The og intro, in contrast, was felt to be rather rushed and confusing.

We then open into a scene playing in New York City, which explains the premise and what Douxie, Nari & Archie have been doing since the former events of Wizards: Tales of Arcadia. The scene is meant to pick up the audience where they were left off after the show, since the movie forced a rather abrupt continuation. What was dubbed by us as the #café scene goes at a slower, more comfortable pace, and intends to pay more respect to the world lore, character relationships etc. It then neatly ties itself to the canon follow-up scene which is commonly known among fans as the "subway scene".

What do I do with it?

You can view the scene as an insert into the canon movie. It is placed in the timeline between Blinky's recap of previous events and the subway scene as a slower and more informative opening.

You can see it as the first, animated scene of @tenebrius-excellium 's fanfic idea, which pursues a very different, more satisfying plotline afterwards.

You can use it as a base to invent your own fix-it story for a movie that could have been good but was sadly largely perceived as disappointing. Have fun! :)

Where can I watch it?

On Youtube! Here are the links to the...

...Trailer: Trollhunters Rise of the Titans: WHAT IF [a fandom project] Official Trailer

...Full movie: Trollhunters Rise of the Titans: WHAT IF [fandom project]

...Blooper Reel: What If ToA Rott Bloopers

This is amazing! Who participated in making this?

Hello!

It's been very quiet since this post was made!

We haven't received any asks on this blog, but we've gotten some wonderful Youtube comments!!! Thank you so much for those, you lovely folks! So glad you enjoyed the videos!

A giant round of Thank You's has been given on Discord! The notes haven't been posted here after all because they ended up carrying a rather personal tone. It's better to keep it private.

We haven't received enough ❗👍🏻❗ in this inbox, so anything like a Q&A won't be taking place.

Here's Reddie's fix-it outline again which this entire idea was based on.

@ all our followers: THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS FANDOM EXPERIENCE WITH US! IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

THIS CONCLUDES #What if ToA RotT.

Now that #What If ToA Rott is pretty much concluded, what can you guys still expect from this blog?

Send us asks! Tell us what you enjoyed most!

Since the art was drawn by many different people, you can also ask character-specific questions or tag a particular person for an answer!

I (Reddie) will be doing a huuuge round of Thank You's to the team!

Everyone deserves individual recognition and applause! It wasn't roses all the time either and it's only now kinda hitting me what people sometimes went through to keep going until the end. T_T

I'm debating myself on whether to do a sort of Q&A to tell the 'making of'-story.

Because the process deserves to be heard. This would also tie the plot back to my (Reddie's) original idea on how this Rott rewrite could continue after the scenes that we made. I know it's been a long time, and everyone has made their peace with Tales of Arcadia in their own way. It would also mean more work for me personally. But if I can get 12 ❗👍🏻❗ in my inbox, I'll do...something? And if it doesn't happen, that's okay too!

IN ANY CASE, THANK YOU FOR 2.5 YEARS OF YOUR FAITHFULNESS AND SUPPORT!

You guys, I'm celebrating so hard right now... let's celebrate together! I don't even know if the blooper reel is all that funny if one hasn't been on the inside of the project, BUT it gets funnier with every rewatch imo and at least for the people who worked on it, it means precious memories of deranged, tedious late night voice chats and shitty drawing references while brainstorming together XD

You had to be on a certain kind of crack to stick with this insane vision sometimes. AGAIN, kudos to everybody who participated.

We are in different parts of the world, you know - from at least 6 countries, I believe - and so because of timezones and different schedules, it was hard to catch each other online at all! So at least for me, on the occasions that we *WERE* able to meet, the producing of memes and the overall mood of silliness was a treasure. I enjoy everyone's company so much!!! Yeeaaahhhhh!!!

First post-video-watching thoughts:

Fandom, let us know what you think!! :)

2. Dreamworks, you wanna hire anyone???

3. THE SKILL OF THIS TEAM BRUH

4. Every detail is somehow my favorite detail. So many memories tied to each one. I can't choose a favorite. I want to do an audio commentary or something... Also, the blooper reel is likely gonna knock it out of the park...

5. THIS IS REALLY GOOD WHAT!? The video really is good!!

6. I'm so proud!!!
